Kenny Rogers

Some people call me Kenny Because of my resemblance to Mr. Rogers Wish I had his enormous piles of dough I'd sure be a happy old codger Methinks they mean before his facelift At least that's what I hope they meant It made him look like a real different person Not as charming in any event So I'll take it that's what they really meant When Kenny was young and virile Instead of this ageing singer of love songs Fame can be fleeting and so fragile Mr. Rogers can still belt out a love song With his familiar raspy voice For over four decades he been charming us Was everyone's favourite choice So I really don't mind the nickname Kenny A compliment is how I take it People could have nicknamed me Bela But as Lugosi I never would have made it

Jack you don't need money to be a happy old codger. To me you are the epitome of happiness. Don't ever change, Wouldn't swap our Happy Jack for 10 Kenny Rodgers.
